Casa Saltshaker

Friday 11 May 2007

We had the most amazing dinner tonight. We ate at Casa Saltshaker, which is a restaurant in a personal home. Dan, who was a professional chef at all kinds of fancy restaurants, moved to Argentina and now feeds fabulous food to 12 people at his house every Friday and Saturday.

He chooses a theme each week, usually based on some day in history, and designs a menu around it. Our theme was Hungarian food, after a tiny town in Hungary that has its own holiday. We had five divine courses, and each was paired with a wine that matched perfectly, creating new flavors within each already delicious bite.

Okay, Mom, brace yourself. This picture is of my favorite course. It is stuffed zucchini. (I normally can't stand zucchini, but this was great!) That's how good this dinner was - it made me like zucchini!
